Before it was opened they received sup
plies by pack trains, but since then the
towns have grown to such proportions
that the demand cannot now be met by
such methods.
Tho washouts of last week and the

HELD TRAIN TO
SA1A LIFE
Fast Express Stopped
on Bridge,
Engine Strikes a Man and
Threws Him Into a ,
Bay.
Passengers Take Hand and Rescue
Follows After an Hour's "Wait
on Trestle.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24. A fast passen
ger train outward ' bound from Jersey
City on Its way to St. Louis, was held
up more than an hour on the trestle
over Newark bay while a man who was
wnlklng on the track and had been
knocked into the water was being res
cued. He "was a tramp. Another tramp,
an alleged burglar, a newspaper report
er, an oysterman and two travelers fig
ured ln the rescue.
Threw Man Into Bay.
Half-way over the bay the engineer
saw a man a few feet ahead directly In
the train's path. He blew the whistle,
but before the echoes had died away the
locomotive grazed the man and hurled
him Into the bay. The train was
brought to a quick stop. Passengers
about to retire sprang to the windows.
Out ln the ba,v a black form was? visi
ble, making feeble efforts to keep afloat.
A man, coatless and with no shoes, said
he would save the injured man. He
dumped and swam toward him. He
succeeded In keeping the head of the in
jured man above the water, but could
not make his way back to the bridge
against the tide. - Aid was necessary,
and Charles Cameron of Smith Center,
Kan., appeared in his night robes and
dived Into the bay, but the three could
not beat against the swift tide and an
other passenger volunteered. On the
suggestion of a woman the signal cords
were cut from six cars and tied togeth
er. The last volunteer took along one
end of the line, but it parted when those
on the bridge tried to pull the swim
mers aboard.
Oyster Boat Called Into Use.
A reporter then suggested going to
the end of the bridge for an oyster boat.
The engine was uncoupled and dashed
away. "With the reporter and an oyster
man at the oars, a dory' w'as soon on the
scene, and, after nearly an hour's work,
tho swimmers were rescued all In good
condition except the original cause of
the trouble. He was hurried to a hos
pital, where he will soon recover.
The first volunteer was arrested when
he got off the train at Elizabeth, an
alarm having been telephoned several
hours previously from Baj-onne charg
ing a man answering his description
with having committed burglary.
APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.
Deported Miners Bequest President to
Intervene.
DENVER, Aug. 24. A petition has
been mailed to President Roosevelt ask
ing him to Intervene ln behalf of the
men deported from Cripple Creek last
Saturday night and protect them ln
their return to the district
The petition Is a voluminous affair,
and includes a personal statement of
John H. Murphy, general counsel for
the Western Federation of Miners, the
affidavit of Thomas H. Parfet, ono of
the deported men, who claims that he
was badly beaten by members of tho
mob, and a sworn statement of his phy
sician to the effect that Parfet Is suf
fering from Injuries that may result
seriously. The whole case is based on
the alleged abuse received by Parfet at
the hands of the mob.
Affidavits and preliminary papers ne
cessary to the commencement of crim
inal actions against alleged leaders of
the mob have aleo been prepared and
forwarded to the District Attorney of

WILD DISARM VESSELS.
Russia . to Take Action Regarding
Warships at Shanghai.
PARIS, Aug. 21. There Is reason to
believe that a decision Is about to be ta
ken providing for the voluntary dis
armament of the Rusalun cruiser Ask
old and the torpedo-boat destroyer Gro
zovol, now at Shanghai, and tho Rus
sian cruiser Diana, at Saigon. This
will be done primarily to avoid interna
tional complications and will have the
effect of reducing tho Russian strength
by three strong units, but tho Russian
authorities consider that this will be
offset by the avoidance of the possible
capture of the vessels named by the Ja
panese. The final determination in the matter
has not yet been taken, but the tenden
cies are strongly indicated. It Is ex
pected that the action to be taken at
Shanghai and Saigon will relievo the
caiws of international significance and
practically close them.
A dispatch to the Temps from St.
Petersburg sayo the Askold, the
Grozovol and Diana will be disarmed If
Japan will give the powers a Tjpcclflo
promise not to attempt thereafter to
seize them, , ,. . .. . u ,

Eighteen-Year-Old Boy
Is Slain.
Murdered in His Father's
Rsstaurant by Rflambar
of Italian Gang.
Killing Most Cold-EloodedTIan Hav
ing Been Picked to Slay
Young Man.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24. Salvatore
Bossoto, IS years old, was shot to death
at his father's restaurant In Park
street by Carlo Rossatl, 35 years old,
today because he had disclosed to the
police secrets of the alleged "black
hand." The father was knocked down
and choked into Insensibility by the
slayer, who then ran down the street
followed by a great mob. Italians to the
number of 1000 later attacked the
Elizabeth street police station, hurled
missiles at the police and prisoner,
hurting two detectives and one police
man. They would have torn the
murderer limb from limb If it had not
been for the arrival of the reserve po
lice from two station houses, who were
forced to use clubs and fists and
threaten to shoot.
Murder Deliberately Planned.
According to the police the murder
was deliberately planned by an orga
nized gang, which Is alleged to have
been sent to Toronto for Rossatl, who
arrived here last night. After his ar
rival he was seen about Mulberry Bend
with Itullans, and because of his im
mense stature attracted attention.
Bossoto is an enemy of these orga
nized gangs, and his son Inherited his
father's opposition to the lawless ele
ment of their countrymen. When not
studying music young Bossoto helped
about the restaurant.
Asks Police Protection.
Several weeks ago he learned that the
murderous gang about Mulberry Bend
had planned to rob a number of Italians
who were coming to New York and had
engaged board over .the Bossoto restau
rant. Young Bossoto went to the
police and asked protection for the
men, nnd an Italian detective arrested
twelve suspicious characters, who were
held until the men had taken ship for
home. Out of jail the men determined
on Bossoto's death.
Ordered Prom Restaurant.
Early today Rossatl entered the
restaurant, und when approached by
the elder Bossoto said he wanted noth
ing. As Bossoto was about to close the
placo he asked Rossatl to leave. The
latter became Insolent and refused.
Young Bossoto, who was in the kitchen,
heard his father and the man In an
argument, and came out. Up to .this
time the man had made no demonstra
tion of violence, but the instant he saw
young Bossoto, Rossatl took a pistol
from his pocket, levelled it at the youth
and fired.
Boy Falls Dead.
The bullet struck the boy between the
eyes and he fell dead. Rossatl then,
according to the police, struck the elder
Bossoto with his fist, knocking him
down, and started to run. but was cap
tured beforo he had gone two blocks.
"Bridge of Death."
On Sunday the Bossratos found on
their door the "bridge of death," a
cabalistic sign of the Sicilians which Is
said to be a threat of death. The elder
Bossoto looked upon this as a Joke at
the time. At the police station Rossatl
said little beyond declaring he had
shot In self-defense.

PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 21. Tho adop

stitution of the American Mining congress
and empowering the body of directors to
In future select tho places for holding
the annual conventions has somewhat
.changed the aspect of tho fiht for the
convention being made for 1905. El Paso
delegates believe that a majority of tho
new board of dlrcctorG will bo friendly
to tho choice of that city, however, and
that they have lost none of the prestlgo
gained with tho delegates with tho chango
ln tho rules governing.
Salt Lakers Busy.
The Salt Lako and Denver delegates,
however, contlnuo to buttonhole the dele
gates and express every confidence that
one or the other city wll lcntertaln the
congress next year. Tho time when tho
selection shall bo made is not fixed and
it may bo at any time during the ensuing
year that the board deems wise, allowing
sufficient time for the preliminary work
essential to the success of an annual con
vention. Hence tho result may not bo
known for 30veral months.
Permanent Headquarters.
Tho report of tho committee on bulld
irgs and permanent headquarters elimin
ated every other city from tho contest
for that honor except Denver and Salt
Lake City, and that is to bo tho consid
eration of tho session tomorrow. As that
will bo the crucial test of tho voting
strength, tho report of the commlttoe on
credentials will be received tomorrow
morning, having been made tho special
order for tho opening session of the day.
Row Over Resolutions.
Resolutions reported back by tho com
mittee on resolutions to the convention
precipitated tho first bitterness of the
convention, and moro tliun an hour of
tho forenoon session was devoted to de
bato over resolutions reported back with
recommendations that they bo not adopt
ed. Tho resolution of T A. Riclcard, edi
tor of tho Mining nnd Engineering Jour
nal of New York, Indorsing the action of
tho Postofflco department, was unani
mously adopted.
Committeo Is Criticised.
Immediately thereafter a resolution by
John Clcary of Washington recommend
ing that tho same process bo required of
patentees of agricultural and other lands
as that domandod of tho miner, which
was adversely reported, was again re
ferred to the committee, after somo acrid
comments upon the subject by Col. John
S, Crawford of Oregon, Indorsing the
resolution and criticising the attltudo of
tho committee.
Warm Discussion Over Alaska.
Warm discussion was aroused over a
resolution committing tho congress to an
Indorsement of tho desires of residents
of Alaska for representation ln tho Na
tional Congress by ono or moro dologates.
Tho resolutions committee recommended
that it bo not adopted H. S. Joseph of
Utah called upon the committeo for tho
reasons for Its attltudo. J. T. Cornforth
of Alaska made an Impassioned appeal
for Its consideration, and P. F. Steele of
Alaska, who Introduced the resolution,
followed with nrcumcnts In its favor.
Politics Mixed In.
Secretary TalmoEO of Utah explained
that the committee did not wish to mix
political questions with the business of
tho convention. Secretary Mahon np
pculo to tho congiess not to reject the
resolutions meant to benefit the industry
as a whole. Finally tho resolution was
adopted by a very largo majority.
Candidates for Scciotary.
Tho OreGon delecatlon has selected J.
Frank Watson, the present third vice
president, as their candidate for member
of tho board of directors. Tho candidacy
of Phillip S. Bates for the secretaryship
will also bo put forward by tho delega
tion, unless the present incumbent, Ir

In which event Mr. Bates will probably

Col John S- Crawford of Grant's Pass,
Or., dollvered tho only address of tho

"Tho Relation of Electrical Forco and its

unmercifully flailed the Incompetent mi

Question of Proxies.
There Is some controversy as to whether
or not delegates have any right to vote
upon tho question of permanent hcad
quortersi unless such delegates are mem
bers of tne organization having paid choir
Initiation fees and annual due.H. Slnco
the congress Is an Incorporated Institu

under which It was cicated. an Interesting
phase Is prcsnntcd, and If It Is finally held
that only members having paid their dues

tho voting of proxies, If declared legal,
will Increase the number. Opinions of the

Port Arthur Siege
Bloodiest Since Sedan
Pinal Asault on tho City Is Imminent
Japaneso Confident of tho
Result.
TOKIO, Aug. 21. The final assault on
Port Arthur Is Imminent. Hundreds of
Japaneso guns continue to pour a de
structive fire Into tho city and harbor
along the lines of forts and entrenchments
preparatory to tho infantry assault. It is
evident that tho Russian lines havo been
weakened and partly penetrated In the
vicinity of Autzshan and Itzshan forts.
Tho entire line of Russian defenses Im
mediately about tho harbor are within
rnngo of tho Japanese guns. A number
of Russian forts and batteries contlnuo to
be vigorous.
Deathroll Heavy One.
Tho Japanese death-roll will bo heavily
Increased before they nre captured. The
direction of the Japanese attack creates
the Impression here that the city and de
fenses on either side of tho harbor en
trance will fall first. Tho final stand will
be mado at LIaotIc3han.
Japanese official channels of Informa
tion remain closed and the Navy depart
ment's announcement of tho striking of U
mine by tho battleship Sevastopol and tho
firing upon tho Russian forts by the cruis
ers Nlsshln and Kasugn yesterday arc
the only disclosures made for several
days. It Is believed here that both sides
havo suffered heavy losses and that tho
final record will muko tho aiogc tho blood
iest since Sedan.
Japanese Are Confident.
Tho Japanese nro suprcmoly confident of
tho ultimate result. Tho loaders of tho
Government await the outcomo ln calm
assurance. The people are everywhere
decorating streets and houses and erect
ing arches and flagstaffs ln preparation
for n national colcbratlon of the expected

MAY ISSUE ATTACHMENT.
Chicago Justice Incensed at Action of
Postmaster-General Payne.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24. Postmaster
General Payne may possibly be hauled
across town here Friday afternoon
willy-nilly, like one of his department's
mall bags. Justice Hurley said today
(hat If a showing was made to him that
the Postmaster-General had, as re
ported, treated one of the court
subpoenas with scorn and refused ser
vice from Constable Simon, an attach
ment would be Issued for the Federal
officer's arrest on the charge of con
tempt of court.
Justice Hurley was In earnest. 'I
can do nothing," he said, "until the cose
in which Mr. Payne Is wanted as a wit
ness comes up Friday, but If It is then
shown that he has treated a summons
and a constable of this court with dis
respect, I will order his arrest for contempt,"
STRIKE AT MARSEILLES.

Extensive Maritime Interests French
Port Threatened With Dire Results,
f
MARSEILLES, Frnnco. Aug. 24. The
strike of sailors and dock laborers hero
has completely prostrated tho extensive
maritlmo Interests of Marseilles and
threatens disastrous results to tho city.
Tho strike, which has continued Inter
mittently for two years, has now becomo
acute. It Is estimated that 18,000 workers
of all grades refuse to load, unload or
operate ships. Tho sixteen companies
carrying on tho principal commorco ot
the Mediterranean havo formally decided
that It is useless to continue their ser
vice and today began the withdrawal of
all merchant ships. Tho Government has
ordered a number of gunboats and torpedo-boats
to take up the Mediterranean
mail routes. Thus far there has been no
disorder, but a large forco of troops Is
ready to meet eventualities. Tho compa
nies engaged In tho transatlantic service
arc not afTccted. but the strikers are
seeking to extend tho movement to Havro
and other ports of departure for America.
WANT FEDERAL TROOPS.
South Omaha Packers Anxious to
Have Uncle Sam's Help
OMAHA, Aug. 24. T. J. Mahoney, one

packing Interests, today made the state
ment that efforts wero being mado on
tho part of his clients nnd their asso
ciates to have Federal troops stationed
nt South Omaha and along tho railroads
leading to Omaha over which tho pack
ors arc running morning nnd evening a
chartered taln for tho accommodation of
their present workmen. Tho packers' rep
resentatives claim this course ha3 been de
termined on for several reasons, ono of
which Is that they cannot get Justice In
South Omaha and that they do not wish
to encumber the County court with a
lot of cases which should not be brought
there, and that by concentrating the
strike troubles In ono court they would bo
greatly simplified.
